i've understood this for the longest time ever.... but, amd's new structure isnt coming out for a long time... so AMD is out of the race for a good while.... so why not get whats gonna pwn for a long time?

It runs my games fine the only problem i have is when multi tasking is it boggs down a little.
My plan is to get a new case for it and give it to my son for X-mas.

I have an extra ocz psu and 19 lcd.
the only games i play right now are counter strike and texas hold em online.
I want my new system to out peform the one im giving to my son but dont want to spend over 1k.
I was thinking about sticking with the 939 platform just because its tested and i am comfortable with it.

Maybe a opty 170 and a dfi mb.
between 939, am2 and conroe which would last me the longest before an upgrade and be the best performance/price option?

i think a 4800 x2 or a opteron 170 would be your best choice... if your an overclocker i would go with opteron no doubt
